Five elements of the land’s composition form the foundation
of the design for the resort – connectivity between these five
components is paramount for the layout of the master plan. The level
platform on which the resort core is positioned and the east cove
marina both create strong anchors for the linear quality of the property.
Other significant features, such as a lush forested enclave, provide
an ideal location for a private spa retreat and protected botanical
gardens.
The dramatic coral shelf offers a differentiated beachfront experience
through the incorporation of viewing boardwalks and natural saltwater
pools. Finally, the property’s back ridge forms a natural border
from surrounding developments.
Additionally, the master plan for the resort is derived from two primary
concepts driving real estate placement – tucking the core resort
buildings within the reprieve of the palm grove canopy while maintaining
close proximity to the water and positioning estate villas on the
hillside so owners benefit from the cool breezes and enjoy dramatic
views to the ocean.
The architecture of the resort builds from the best applications of
Caribbean design while integrating important concepts in sustainable
practices. Resort buildings are tucked into the palm grove canopy
in a way that ensures walkability of the core area, minimizes visual
impact and allows the natural vegetation of the site to flourish.
The use of indigenous construction materials is a priority in design
and construction.
Further refinement of the La Sirena master plan will balance the development
of architectural elements with the preservation of natural site features. |
